Aspects of the present invention are described below with reference to flowchart illustrations and/or block diagrams of methods, apparatus (systems) and computer program products according to embodiments of the invention. It will be understood that each block of the flowchart illustrations and/or block diagrams, and combinations of blocks in the flowchart illustrations and/or block diagrams, can be implemented by computer program instructions. These computer program instructions may be provided to a processor of a general purpose computer, special purpose computer, or other programmable data processing apparatus to produce a machine, such that the instructions, which execute via the processor of the computer or other programmable data processing apparatus, create means for implementing the functions/acts specified in the flowchart and/or block diagram block or blocks.

These computer program instructions may also be stored in a computer readable medium that can direct a computer, other programmable data processing apparatus, or other devices to function in a particular manner, such that the instructions stored in the computer readable medium produce an article of manufacture including instructions which implement the function/act specified in the flowchart and/or block diagram block or blocks.

The computer program instructions may also be loaded onto a computer, other programmable data processing apparatus, or other devices to cause a series of operational steps to be performed on the computer, other programmable apparatus or other devices to produce a computer implemented process such that the instructions which execute on the computer or other programmable apparatus provide processes for implementing the functions/acts specified in the flowchart and/or block diagram block or blocks.

With reference now to the figures, and in particular to FIG. 1, there is depicted a block diagram of an exemplary computer 102, which may be utilized by the present invention. Note that some or all of the exemplary architecture, including both depicted hardware and software, shown for and within computer 102 may be utilized by software deploying server 150 and/or caller system 152, as well as the telecom router switch 306, telecom software system 314, contact center agent 320, and system administrator 400 shown in FIG. 4.

Computer 102 includes a processor unit 104 that is coupled to a system bus 106. Processor unit 104 may utilize one or more processors, each of which has one or more processor cores. A video adapter 108, which drives/supports a display 110, is also coupled to system bus 106. In one embodiment, a switch 107 couples the video adapter 108 to the system bus 106. Alternatively, the switch 107 may couple the video adapter 108 to the display 110. In either embodiment, the switch 107 is a switch, preferably mechanical, that allows the display 110 to be coupled to the system bus 106, and thus to be functional only upon execution of instructions (e.g., voice print correlation and call routing program VPCCRP 148 described below) that support the processes described herein.

System bus 106 is coupled via a bus bridge 112 to an input/output (I/O) bus 114. An I/O interface 116 is coupled to I/O bus 114. I/O interface 116 affords communication with various I/O devices, including a keyboard 118, a mouse 120, a media tray 122 (which may include storage devices such as CD-ROM drives, multi-media interfaces, etc.), a printer 124, and (if a VHDL chip 137 is not utilized in a manner described below), external USB port(s) 126. While the format of the ports connected to I/O interface 116 may be any known to those skilled in the art of computer architecture, in a preferred embodiment some or all of these ports are universal serial bus (USB) ports.

As depicted, computer 102 is able to communicate with a software deploying server 150 via network 128 using a network interface 130. Network 128 may be an external network such as the Internet, or an internal network such as an Ethernet or a virtual private network (VPN).

A hard drive interface 132 is also coupled to system bus 106. Hard drive interface 132 interfaces with a hard drive 134. In a preferred embodiment, hard drive 134 populates a system memory 136, which is also coupled to system bus 106. System memory is defined as a lowest level of volatile memory in computer 102. This volatile memory includes additional higher levels of volatile memory (not shown), including, but not limited to, cache memory, registers and buffers. Data that populates system memory 136 includes computer 102's operating system (OS) 138 and application programs 144.

OS 138 includes a shell 140, for providing transparent user access to resources such as application programs 144. Generally, shell 140 is a program that provides an interpreter and an interface between the user and the operating system. More specifically, shell 140 executes commands that are entered into a command line user interface or from a file. Thus, shell 140, also called a command processor, is generally the highest level of the operating system software hierarchy and serves as a command interpreter. The shell provides a system prompt, interprets commands entered by keyboard, mouse, or other user input media, and sends the interpreted command(s) to the appropriate lower levels of the operating system (e.g., a kernel 142) for processing. Note that while shell 140 is a text-based, line-oriented user interface, the present invention will equally well support other user interface modes, such as graphical, voice, gestural, etc.

As depicted, OS 138 also includes kernel 142, which includes lower levels of functionality for OS 138, including providing essential services required by other parts of OS 138 and application programs 144, including memory management, process and task management, disk management, and mouse and keyboard management.

Application programs 144 include a renderer, shown in exemplary manner as a browser 146. Browser 146 includes program modules and instructions enabling a world wide web (WWW) client (i.e., computer 102) to send and receive network messages to the Internet using hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) messaging, thus enabling communication with software deploying server 150 and other described computer systems.

Application programs 144 in computer 102's system memory (as well as software deploying server 150's system memory) also include a voice print correlation and call routing program (VPCCRP) 148. VPCCRP 148 includes code for implementing the processes described below, including those described in FIGS. 3-5. In one embodiment, computer 102 is able to download VPCCRP 148 from software deploying server 150, including in an on-demand basis. Note further that, in one embodiment of the present invention, software deploying server 150 performs all of the functions associated with the present invention (including execution of VPCCRP 148), thus freeing computer 102 from having to use its own internal computing resources to execute VPCCRP 148.

Also stored in system memory 136 is a VHDL (VHSIC hardware description language) program 139. VHDL is an exemplary design-entry language for field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and other similar electronic devices. In one embodiment, execution of instructions from VPCCRP 148 causes VHDL program 139 to configure VHDL chip 137, which may be an FPGA, ASIC, etc.

In another embodiment of the present invention, execution of instructions from VPCCRP 148 results in a utilization of VHDL program 139 to program a VHDL emulation chip 151. VHDL emulation chip 151 may incorporate a similar architecture as described above for VHDL chip 137. Once VPCCRP 148 and VHDL program 139 program VHDL emulation chip 151, VHDL emulation chip 151 performs, as hardware, some or all functions described by one or more executions of some or all of the instructions found in VPCCRP 148. That is, the VHDL emulation chip 151 is a hardware emulation of some or all of the software instructions found in VPCCRP 148. In one embodiment, VHDL emulation chip 151 is a programmable read only memory (PROM) that, once burned in accordance with instructions from VPCCRP 148 and VHDL program 139, is permanently transformed into a new circuitry that performs the functions needed to perform the process described below in FIGS. 3-5.

The hardware elements depicted in computer 102 are not intended to be exhaustive, but rather are representative to highlight essential components required by the present invention. For instance, computer 102 may include alternate memory storage devices such as magnetic cassettes, digital versatile disks (DVDs), Bernoulli cartridges, and the like. These and other variations are intended to be within the spirit and scope of the present invention.

With reference now to FIG. 2, a prior art telecommunication network 200 is presented. Assume that a caller 202 has placed a call 204 to the telecommunication network 200, which may be a contact center network, a call center network, or any other network designed to handle phone calls from multiple customers, clients, users, etc., and to direct them to a person, software or other agent, in accordance with the nature of their call. The call 204 is first received by a telecom router switch 206, which identifies the time and date of the call 204 while the call 204 is being handled by the telecommunication network 200. This information is logged into a log 208, and is then passed on to and stored in a central logging system 210 as a telecom router switch log file 212. The call 204 is then passed on to a telecom software system 214, which may be an interactive voice response (IVR) system or any other software system designed to pass the call to the appropriate resource within telecommunication network 200. Telecom software system 214 generates a telecom software system log file, which identifies the telephone number of the caller 202. This telecom software system log file is stored in a local log 216, and then passed on to and stored in the central logging system 210 as a telecom software system log file 218. Finally, the call 204 is passed on to a contact center agent 220, which is software and/or a person that identifies the name of the caller. The contact center agent 220 stores this name information as a contact center agent log file in a local log 222, and then passes it on for storage in the central logging system 210 as a contact center agent log file 224. As depicted, the telecom router switch log file 212, the telecom software system log file 218, and the contact center agent log file 224 are all separate files with no common identifiers. Thus, there is no way to know that these three log files are for the same call 204.

With reference now to FIG. 3, an improved and novel telecommunication network 300 is depicted. Telecommunication network 300 may be a contact center network, a call center network, or any other network designed to handle phone calls from multiple customers, clients, users, etc., and to direct them to a person, software or other agent, in accordance with the nature of their call. A call 304 from a caller 302 is first received by a telecom router switch 306, which identifies the time and date of the call 304 while the call 304 is being handled by the telecommunication network 300. Within telecom router switch 306 is voice print logic, shown as a conversational biometric distributor and authenticator (CDBA) 309 a. CDBA 309 a is able to take a voice print of caller 304. This voice print can be created by prompting the caller to state his name, any baseline word or phrase, or any other word or phrase. This voice print is digitized into a numeric value and appended to the telecom router switch log file 212, which was described in FIG. 2, to generate a correlated telecom router switch log file 330, which is stored in the local log 308 and then passed on to the central logging system 310.

The call 304 is then passed on to a telecom software system 314, which may be an interactive voice response (IVR) system or any other software system designed to pass the call to the appropriate resource within telecommunication network 300. Telecom software system 314 generates a telecom software system log file, which identifies the telephone number of the caller 302, and then appends the voice print, which was generated earlier by telecom router switch 306, to generate a correlated telecom software system log file 340. This correlated telecom software system log file 340 is stored in a local log 316, and is then passed on to and stored in the central logging system 310. Finally, the call 304 is passed on to a contact center agent 320, which is software and/or a person that identifies the name of the caller and stores this name information along with the voice print in a local log 322 as a correlated contact center agent log file 350. The contact center agent 320 stores this correlated contact center agent log file 350 in a local log 322, and then passes it on for storage in the central logging system 310. The central logging system 310 utilizes the voice print found in all three log files to locate the consolidated files (330, 340, 350) in order to generate a single correlated log file 311 for the call 304 that contains the information in these consolidated files (330, 340, 350).

Note that while the voice print is described as being generated by the CDBA 309 a in the telecom router switch 306, in one embodiment voice prints can be generated by CDBA 309 b in telecom software system 314 and by CDBA 309 c in contact center agent 320. These multiple voice prints thus provide additional voice print data, which can be consolidated into a single voice print by the central logging system 310. This consolidated single voice print is able to identify the voice prints generated by all of the CDBAs 309 a-c, thus providing means for identifying all of the three correlated call logs, while allowing each of the three correlated call logs to maintain their own unique voice prints.

With reference now to FIG. 4, assume that a user of a computer depicted as system administrator 400 desires to perform an analysis of calls received at the telecommunication network 300. The user of system administrator 400 needs only to know information about when the call 304 was processed, the phone number of the caller 302, or the name of the caller 302. By knowing any of these three items, the system administrator 400 is able to retrieve all three sets of data, since they are now consolidated and correlated into the single correlated log file 311. Thus, the system administrator 400 can send a request to retrieve the caller's call log (step 402) using any of the three data elements (caller's name, phone number, or date/time of call). In one embodiment, only the voice print is returned to the system administrator (step 404). The system administrator 400 can then use this voice print (voice signature) to request all logs (step 406) that have this voice print appended to the log (as described above). The central logging system 310 can then return the single correlated log file 311, as shown in step 408.

With reference now to FIG. 5, a high-level flow chart of exemplary steps taken to correlate log files in a call network is presented. After initiator block 502, a call network (e.g., a contact center network) receives a call from a caller (block 504). A voice print of the caller is generated (block 506), and is appended to the telecom router switch log file (to generate a correlated telecom router switch log file), the telecom software system log file (to generate a correlated telecom software system log file), and the contact center agent log file (to generate a correlated contact center agent log file) as described above. These three voice print-augmented correlated log files are then consolidated into a single correlated log file for the call (block 508). The single correlated log file for the call is stored in a central logging system (block 510), which provides the single correlated log file to any requester (block 512), such as a system auditor, a system manager, etc. The process ends at terminator block 514.
